I started (a long time ago) as an intern. If you can find some internship or temporary position where they're willing to try people with little experience (but at least some working knowledge of programming), go for it.
After that, you may be offered a permanent, entry-level position, or at least you'll have some experience when applying for other jobs. And, most importantly, you'll start developing a network of people that have seen what you are able to do, which is one of the most effective ways to get job offers.
But, I would also take some time to consider the meta thing, i.e. why you're having difficulty keeping up with college work. Do you have trouble focusing? Or with abstract thinking? Some of the, let's say, personality traits, that mathematics requires are similar to the ones that programming also requires. So make sure that programming is a good fit for you. Also, again, probably the best way to find out is trying in the way I suggested above.
